Give Your Neighborsan Easy Place toPass Books Along
A Knowledge Exchange Book Bin turns a corner of your parking lot into the easiest book drop in town. We place it, keep it clean, and empty it when our sensor says it's full. You get the foot traffic and the goodwill.
Good for Your Location. Great for Books.
A Reason to Stop By
Neighbors drop books off on their own schedule, and every visit puts eyes on your storefront, charity, or campus.
Pounds Kept Out of Landfills
Your bin joins a network that has already kept more than 800,000 pounds of books out of landfills.
No Cost, No Chores
The bin, delivery, upkeep, and every pickup are free. No extra work for your staff and nothing to remember.
Parking Space, Max
A bin is smaller than a car and sits where you say. We'll move it if the spot isn't working.
What a Book Bin Needs
A Paved, Easy-to-Reach Spot
A corner of the parking lot or beside an entrance, where someone can pull up with a trunk full of books.
Good Light and Visibility
Bins in well-lit, visible places stay cleaner and fill faster. A spot you can see from the street is ideal.
Room for a Truck to Pull In
Our crew empties bins from a box truck, so we need a lane of clearance. Most lots already work.
Permission to Place It
Property owner or manager sign-off is all we need. We provide the agreement, and the bin can be removed at any time.

We Visit and Place the Bin
We confirm the spot in person, then deliver and set the bin exactly where you want it.
We Keep It Emptied and Tidy
A sensor inside the bin tells us when it's getting full, so we come before it overflows, and you never have to call. Books go to readers, literacy partners, and recycling, not the landfill.
Places Where a Bin Thrives
Anywhere people already come and go with a car nearby. If your location isn't on this list, ask anyway.
FAQs
Does hosting a bin cost anything?
No. The bin, delivery, maintenance, and every pickup are free.
Who empties it, and how often?
Our crew empties every bin. A sensor inside tells us every time it's full. You never have to check it or call us.
What if someone leaves things beside the bin?
Let us know, and we'll pick it up on the next run. Our bins carry clear signage about what goes in, which keeps stray items rare.
What happens to the books?
They go to our warehouse in Franklin Park, where they're sorted for new readers, literacy partners like Bernie's Book Bank. Anything that can't be reused is responsibly recycled.
